Revised Pay after two year

Business Outlook

Pros

Basic Pay Increase of 7% after getting huge hike of 50% after getting into T2 from T1. So hikes are not improving much. Been told we will be paid on market standard not much.

Cons

Work life balance depends on project, good overall but hikes are getting low every year as lot of people hired into leadership roles at heft pay.
